Ask Nilmar/Nakh

never bought one but probably have at some point, there is very little reason to buy american wine in this country because the import costs and pricing reflective of the domestic market make it uncompetitive and consequently very few retailers stock a good selection

california cabernet sauvignons and chardonnays are mostly not made in a style that sells well in this country when it is directly competing against bordeaux or white burgundy, and if people want a warmer climate style then higher end wines from south america or south africa are far better value

Gonzales, CA! That's near where I grew up

do you have any use for American roots music?

(i.e. country/blues/bluegrass/folk aimed at a popular audience, excluding highbrow/academic/esoteric stuff like John Fahey and Henry Flynt)

Do you play an instrument

nakh is this real or a parody

i dont think you need nakh for that

(ignoring disciplinary boundaries)

iyo have yr political views remained consistent, synchronically & diachronically?

have you ever felt politically conflicted, confused, uncertain; have yr political views undergone some significant reconsideration/ revision/ refinement/ complication/ alteration?

(btw wd not be offended if you skip this q)

they are not radically dissimilar to how they have ever been, in the sense of simple political economy, without ever having given much indication of caring publically about it there's no need for a sort of identarian agonizing

thoughts on political history or why politics are as they are, particularly in this country, changes quite a lot from time to time, not in a predictable way and not in the sense of radically altering normative concerns, this seems to me a useful sort of uncertainty

so corelli barnett doesn't invite interest in the selsdon group and someone like carl schmitt whose diagnosis of political forms/affects probably has been quite influential was himself a sort of sordid political idiot so in that sense it's quite distant from questions about what to do now

re music qns no background in music at all, re old american vernacular music i like a lot in some instances but don't have much knowledge of, i like the sort of old 78s ian posts youtubes of, alan lomax archive stuff.....modern country etc i know nothing about.....not following a lot of american music in general recently though

the slav squad thing looks pretty real, the top of the multistorey carpark setting looks to be a tribute to the 'ill manors' video by plan b, the first great mainstream protest song in years and an important influence on my lack of interest in british people emoting about politics

Maybe Ask Sharivari what their vkontakte scene is called

nakh will you have been aware that there was guards called to the shooting of the Vincent Browne show this evening on foot of intimidation and homophobia from water protesters

deems la my irish knowledge is dreadful as you might have noticed

vaguely aware of the water protest thing but not interested enough to bother finding more about it

clearly there's enough water around to dilute to homoepathic levels the fluoride that should be keeping them compliant and docile

nb dayo there was an article in i think the new yorker or some other american publication a few weeks ago that mentioned this
